A Latin Qrammar 

For Schools and (^jllegcs. By 

Lane, Ph.D., LL.I)., I'l-ofessor 

I.,atin in Harvard University, 

(Nairli/ Eaub/.) 
Professor Lane was engaged for many years 
uiK)ii the 1 'reparation of the Latin Grammar about 
to lie ]iul)lislied, and while he did not complete it 
in all its details, the manuscript was practially 
linished liefnre his death. The pecidiar merits of 
the work are coniprrhensiveiie.^s, ]irecision of 
statement, accm-aey in (letails, prefect clearness, 
combined with the utmost coiidensaticm, and a 
wealth and aptness of illustration unrivalled by 
any predeccessor. 

Harper's Scientific flemoirs

Thomson on the Free Expansion of Gases. 

Edited by.losEPH S. Ames, Ph.D., Professor of 
Phvsics, Johns IIoi>kins University (Nearly 
Rrady. ) 

Praunhofer's Papers on Prismatic and Dif- 
fraction Spectra. Edited by Joseph S. Ames, 
Ph.D. In press. 

These are the first two volumes of a series of 
translation and reprints of various scientific mem- 
oirs which are readily accessible to the general 
student. The pai>ers to be included will be selec- 
ted from those which are most imiwrtant in the 
history of science, or which have important bear- 
ing upon the present state of science. They will 
emlirace articles from the fields of Phyics, Astron- 
omony, Chemistry, and probably other sciences. 

Elements of Literary Criticism 

Ry Charles F. John,son, Professor of English 

Literature in Trinity College, Hartford; author 

of "English Words." 16mo, Cloth 80 cents; by 

mail, ss cents. 

"Johnson's 'Elements of Literary Criticism is 

more than a good IkioIc: it is an extremely good 

one.***His insight is keen, his statement lucid, his 

examples apt, his critical scheme at once simple 

and ])rofound."— James R. Tiuiax, Pro/cssor of 

E)i(iU!>h Literature, Uii/'on I'lilrersil!/. 

Paradise Lost: its structure and Meaning 

The poem, with Copious Notes by John A. 

Hines, Professor of English, Pennsylvania 

College. Post 8vo, Cloth, |1.20; by mail $l.?,2. 

This edition omits the usual grammatical and 

philological comment, as well as citations from 

authors who could not have contributed to the 

form or substance of the poem. "The Structure 

and Meaning" are chiefly considered, and the 

origin of the plan as a whole and of many of the 

constituent scenes is traced. 



Latin Literature of the Empire. 

In Selections. Editel, with Revised Texts 
and J5rief Iniroiluctions, by Alfred Gitde- 
MAN, Associate Professor of Chissical Philo- 
logy, University of Pennsylvania. Post Hvo. 
In Two Volumes. Vol. I., Pro.se, Nearly Ready; 
Vol. II., PoETP.v, Tn Press. 
The selections have been made with a primary 
view to their lesthetie interest and intrinsic value, 
and. owing to their length and continuity, are 
calculated to give an adequate conception of the 
genius of the respective authors. 

Phillips and Strong's Trigonometry 

Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. 

By Andrew W. Phillips, Professor in Vule 
University, and Wendell M. Strong, Tutor 
in Yale University. (Nearly Heady.) 
Phillips and Fisher's Geometry, immediately 
upon its publication, took leading rank among 
te.xt-books of the science. Phillips and Strong's 
Trigonometry, it is believed, will be received with 
equal favor. The qualities which distinguish the 
"Geometry"— mathematical soundness, lucidity 
and helpfulness — will commend the "Trigonom- 
etry" to mathematical teachers.

CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 



TJ?efcome! (U. (B- (^. 

THE citizens of Washington, appreciating the choice of this city for 
the convention of the National Educational Association, desire to ex- 
press their heai'ty sympathy with your organization, and to assure 
you that no effort will be spared to render your stay in the National 
Capital pleasant and yoi:r meeting- successful. That Washington is 
the center to which organized bodies of a national character tend, is 
indicated by the fact that already two score of them hold their an- 
nual sessions under the shadow of the dome of the Capitol; Our 
citizens esteem it a boon to greet the teachers of the country and 
their guests, to welcome a society whose members have so much to 
do in determining the character of the people and so shaping the 
destines of the nation. 

It is peculiarly fitting that this great Association of teachers, from 
whom the American youth receive instructions, should assemble in 
Washington. Probably in no other way can information as to the 
nature of our Government and its practical operations be so easily 
diffused aroong the youth of the land, or a clear conception of the 
character of our institutions be so readily gained. 

ADVANTAGES FROM AN EDUCATIONAL STANDPOINT. 

The advantages of Washington from an educational standpoint 
are at once apparent. 

As the capital and home of the nation, the city is naturally the 
object of peculiar pride and Interest to all patriotic Americans. 
Here are located the three co-ordinate branches of ovir Government, 
the Executive, the Houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court of 
the United States. Here are the departments in which the work of 
the Government is carried on, and within which its practical opera- 
tion can be studied at first hand. And here, most interesting of all 
to teachers, is the magnificent new Library of Congress — a veritable 
palace of art — \-\'ith its splendid treasure of learning. In the various 
public buildings, moreover, are to be found many valuable libraries 
of a special character, and collections and exhibits of interest and 
importance. Much pleasure and profit will be found also in visiting 
the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum, the Corcoran Art 
Gallery and the Universities and schools whch serve to bring all these 
public resources into the line of direct educational work. 

The natural attractions of Washington, which has been- aptly 
styled the "Paris of America," will be thoroughly appreciated by 
those who attend the convention — the magnificent avenues and 
broad streets paved with asphalt and abundantly shaded; the splen- 
did system of public parks, comprising in area nearly five thousand 
acres; the great public buildings; the various monuments; the zoo- 
logical and botanical gardens; the picturesque beauty of the suburbs 
and of the surrounding- country, especially along the valleys of the 
historic Potomac; and siich objects of National intei-est as the 
United States Soldiers' Home, Arlington, Eock Creek Park, Zoologi- 
cal Park and Mount Vernon.

THE CAPITOL. 

THE Capitol of the rnited States is situated on Capitol Hill, one and 
one-third miles from the White House and half a mile from the 
Pennsylvania Eailroad Station. The building is open from 9 : 00 a. ra. 
to 4 : 30 p.m. daily except Sundays and holidays. Congress goes into session 
during its term at twelve o'clock noon. Visitors are allowed on the floor 
of the Senate and House of Representatives until 11.45 a. m. during the 
days on which Congress meets; after that hour they are admitted to the 
galleries only. 

The central portion of the building is constructed of Virginia sandstone, 
painted white; the Senate and House wings are of INIassachusetts marble. 
The columns of all porticoes are monoliths. The entire length of the 
Capitol is seven hundred and fifty-one feet and four inches; width, three 
hundred and fifty feet; area, over three and one-half acres. 

The corner-stone of the main building was laid by President Wash- 
ington on September 18, 1793. The corner-stone of the extensions 
was laid by President Fillmore on July 4, 1851, Daniel Webster being 
the orator. Until the completion of the extensions the Senate occu- 
pied the present Supreme Court Room, and the House of Representa- 
tive the present National Statuary Hall; the extensions were first oc- 
cuped by Congress on January 4, 1859. 

The dome of the Capitol, surmounted by the statue"of Freedom, towers 
nearly three hundred feet above the esplanade. It may be ascended by a 
winding stairway. In the central building are the Rotunda, the Supreme 
€ourt Room, and the Statuary Hall. The Senate occupies the north wing 
and the House of Representatives the south wing. 

The Brumidi fresco on the Rotunda canopy is one of the greatest works 
of art in America. In the centre is the Apotheosis of Washington. On his 
right sits Freedom; on his left, Victory; about him float serial figures 
representing the original thirteen States. Around this centre piece are 
groups representing the Fall of Tyranny, Agriculture, Mechanics, 
Commerce, Marine, Arts, and Sciences. At the east entrance to the 
Rotunda are the famous Rogers bronze doors, illustrating scenes in the 
career of Columbus. 

The National Statuary Hall, the old Hall of Representatives, the scene 
of the debates by Webster, Clay, and Calhoun, is set apart for the reception 
of two statues from each State, and now contains the figures of nearly^ 
the p'»'omJnent men in the nation's history.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM.

EXECUTIVE MANSION. 

The "White House," the official home of the President of the United 
States, is situated on Pennsylvania Avenue at Sixteenth Street. The 
East Room or State Parlor is open to visitors from 10:00 a. m. to 2:00 
p. m. daily except Sundays and holidays. Ordinarily the President re- 
ceives visitors in the East Room at 3:00 p. m. on Mondays, Wednes- 
days, and Fridays. These receptions are subject to change, however, 
at the will of the President. 

The building is constructed of Virginia freestone and is one hun- 
dred and seventy feet long and eighty-six feet in depth. It consists 
of a rustic basement, two stories and an attic, the whole surmounted 
by an ornamental balustrade. The White House was the first public 
building erected at the new seat of Government. The corner stone 
was laid by Washington, October 13, 1792. John Adams was its first 
occupant in 1800. In 1814 it was burned by the British, and upon its 
restoration the stone was painted w^hite to obliterate tht; marks of 
the fire. 

The East Room is usually the only one shovsm to visitors. From the 
grand central corridor, however, which extends clear through to the 
conservatory, other rooms lead off, sumptuously furnished, and tak-

ir.g their names from the predominant color of their decorations. 
The Gi-een Room is now used principally for a music room. The Blue 
Room is also used by the President as a reception room. It v>'as in 
this room that the Cleveland marriage took place in June, 1886. The 
Red Room is used as the family sitting room, and also for receptions 
by the ladies of the President's household. Beyond the Red Room 
is the State Dining Room, where the state dinners are given to thf' 




13 N. E. A. CONVENTION 

Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the Diplomatic Corps. 
The President's Room on the second floor is reached by a stairway 
which ascends from the hall between the vestibule and the East 
Room. Opening off from the President's Room is the Cabinet Room. 
All of these rooms are luxurious in their furnishings and contain 
many valuable paintings of former Presidents and noted person- 
ages. 

THE TREASURY.

INTERIOR NEW CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY 



20 OFFICIAL PROGEAM. 

At Arlington rest sixteen thousand soldiers who gave up their lives 
in the War of the Rebellion. It is historic ground. The mansion, 
one of the old landmarks, was built in the early part of the century 
by a foster son of Washington. On the 22d of April, 1861, Robert E. 
Lee went out from this, his home, to fight for the Confederacy. 

The view from Arlington Heights is most beautiful. Below flows 
the peaceful Potomac; on the farther side, with its towering monu- 
ment, its parks, and its imposing buildings, lies the Capital of the 
Nation; beyond rise the encircling hills, rolling gently away to the 
dim, distant horizon.

tem can be employed to advantage in rural schools. 

4. Where rural schools are maintained, written examinations for 
the older pupils should be held at stated times in town centers by the 
county superintendent or other competent officer, adequate records 
of the results of the examination being preserved for future refer- 
ence.

NEW AND IMPROVED TEXT-BOOKS FOR 1898. 



Choice Literature. 

(5 Books.) 

By Prof. Sherman Williams. 

Siipt. of Schools, Glens Falls, N. Y. 

Ready June 25th. 

This Series is intended to create and foster a taste 
for good reading. 

To teach a child to read and not to teach him what 
to read, is to put into his hand« a dangerovis weapon. 

The Regular Series of Readers are designed i>rima- 
rily to teach children how to read: but, besides this, 
jDUch practice in reading is required, and every 
teacher is at a loss as to what books to place in the 
hands of the children for practice reading. The re- 
sult is that much promiscuous matter, without any 
special system, is thus used for reading. 

Professor Williams has given much thought to this 
question of systematic reading, and how much it is 
possible to accomplish in the ordinary school course, 
and what is the best plan to create a taste for good 
reading, as well as to give some familiarity with the 
best authors. 

There are five books in this Series: 
ONE FOR PRIMARY GRAPES, 
TWO FOR INTKRMEMATE GRADES, 
TWO FOR GRAMMAR GRADES. 

The series will contain over 1.400 12mo pages of 
choice reading matter, each volume bound in full 
cloth. The best English and American authors will 
be fully represented. 

The price for the full Series is $1.75. 

This is over eight pages of choice reading matter 
for one cent. 

Sample sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price. 
IN PRESS: 

A Sight Reader. 

To be used for practice, after completing the First 
Reader of any Regular Series. 

It is a genuine and cai'efully graded Sight Reader 
for Primarv Grades.

LOUIS, MO., has a Board of 
Education representing the high-

Superintendent of Schools in full sympathy with its purpose 
to maintain in the schools a standard of efficiency second to 
no other. The recent adoption by this Board, on the recom- 
mendation of the Superintendent, of Reed's Word Lessons, 
Reed's Introductory Language Work and Reed & Kellogg's 
Grammar for exclusive use in the St. Louis schools places the 
city in line with the best educational sentiment and practice 
of the country with respect to language teaching, and affords 
another convincing evidence of the fact that "Reed & Kel- 
logg's Language Series has no formidable rival." These books
